Pearson family's latest adventure...

Josh and I have really been praying about what direction to go in professionally. As most of you know, he is the web developer for D Magazine here in Dallas, and has been a part of the web world since entering the "real" work force back in 2001. This has been a wonderful profession for him because it requires intelligence and creativity, and he's got it all! It has also been great to get me through seminary and off to my career, but now he is feeling the Lord lead him in a new and exciting direction.

He has spent the last several months using his 45 minute drive in to work as a prayer time. He keeps the radio off and just prays and listens to God most days. In seeking Him, he has really felt a nudge to pursue a law degree with the goal of becoming an attorney. He has begun looking at different law school and is preparing to take the LSAT in June. He started an 8 week class that meets every Tuesday from 6-9 at SMU tonight. I got this text message at 6:35, "Not sure about this whole class thing, 35 minutes in and I could already tell you that there are 77 tiles in the ceiling and that the prof had written 239 words on the board before class." As you can see, he is not the "sit in class" type (which would explain some of that skipping class he did in college), but I am confident that with the Lord's help (and maybe some Adderall) he will make it!

I'm very proud of him for going after this and I know that he will succeed because he is super intelligent and he is being obedient to the Lord. If you all can begin praying now for the LSAT in June that would be great. He needs to do well on this one in order to apply this August to start in August 2009. If not he may not get to apply for another year since they only offer the LSAT a few times a year, and that would mean not starting school until August 2010. It's a 4 year program once he gets started. At this rate, Kate will be 7 when Josh graduates (she's 18 months now). This is going to be a long road, but I'm excited to see what the Lord does with it.
